Learn to assess the functions and values of wetland sites using the Oregon Rapid Wetland Assessment Protocol (ORWAP) Version 3.2. ORWAP provides a standardized, rapid, function-based assessment method that can be used for the majority of wetlands found across Oregon. This method furthers federal and state regulatory objectives by informing compensatory mitigation planning. Use of ORWAP is required for removal-fill Individual Permits as of July 1, 2019.

Designed and led by Oregon Department of State Lands staff, this training will provide participants with an in-depth understanding of how ORWAP was developed and how to apply the method. The training includes two virtual classroom sessions and one field day in Salem.
